Plot synopsis

This film is about Elena Yunger, who was the leading
actress of the legendary Akimov Theatre of Comedy of
St. Petersburg. For the whole St. Petersburg theatre
world she was a symbolic and cult figure. She was not
a much-filmed actress, and the majority of TV viewers
remember her mostly as a capricious sister called Anna
from N. Kosheverova’s film «Cinderella». She was also a
translator and writer, with some of her memoirs about
her experience at the theatre, trip to America and
acquaintance with Charlie Chaplin published.
Commemorating 100th anniversary of Elena Yunger, the
authors of this film were trying to show what
reminiscence of her remained in the memory of people
close to her, and what that wonderful woman was like.
